Wine selections were nice and food was just as good. A bit Overpriced menu. Waiter seemed to be in a rush which was a little annoying considering they closed @10 and we arrived at 8pm on a Tuesday but he was friendly. Ordered the 2 meat charcuterie was not impressed. Also ordered the steak bites with puréed sweet potatoes which was very tasty and burger for the kid. A decent place for regulars or just to wine down. Should at least try once. Check em out!

We went on a Friday afternoon, and there were people in there, but still quiet, which was nice. We sat at the bar, and our server was helpful and checked us without being overbearing. The menu selection is great - not too small, not too big. Wines from different US locations, but also France, Italy, etc., so a nice option for everyone. They also had a board with special limited releases. We each had our own glass of wine and shared a third to try 3 different wines. Their prices are super reasonable, and they have quality selections. We also ordered some cheese to snack on. Delicious charcuterie options, as well as some other items like The Rock's hummus - yum! This is such a gem for the area. You can also take items home and shop from their storefront. Nice staff and a thoughtful menu. We will be back next time we are in town!

Got our drinking on at this Normal wine bar. It happens to be located close to the ISU campus…read more Stave doesn't get many students. Mostly because they're elsewhere slamming bad beers and Jell-O shots probably. That leaves more room for us here though. Choosing was made easier by the limited choices. It's got a wine list with only a few each of reds and whites, with quite a few California ones. They have some Italian ones too. Good prices for a glass. It's about $9 for a glass of the Sandhi. Basically this is a Chardonnay from the Central Coast. The Central Coast of California that is. It's about $2 for munchies such as apricots. They also have charcuterie boards with cheeses and meats. For sure it's a chill place compared to other bars on campus. It's open from the afternoons to the evenings. They're closed Sundays.

So darned good. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. The wine selection is fantastic. The…read moreservice is great . The food menu is on the smaller side, yet perfect. Salads are fresh. The Caesar dressing is light and tasty though it does have a definite anchovy essence. You have to enjoy anchovies I think to appreciate. Get the homemade focaccia with butter. They infuse the butter differently given the season; ours was made with herbs they grow in house. I have a student at Purdue and will be back here on every visit just for that bread. The tiramisu was positively delicious.

Imagine stepping up to the counter of a wine bar and asking to see a menu (because there wasn't one…read morereadily available), and being looked at by the person behind the counter as though you asked if she could join you in a satanic ritual behind the building. I got a blank, silent stare. The words, "You do sell wine here, don't you?" literally came out of my mouth during this interaction, because I was starting to question where I was. And I guess The Cellar Wine Bistro does sell wine, because I was wordlessly handed a menu, and I saw wine on the menu. Great! I wanted a glass of wine, so I was in the right place. I ended up getting a wine flight, which came with three small glasses of wine. I had to ask questions and initiate the entire transaction, because the person behind the counter did not seem interested in providing any additional details beyond what was on the menu. Eventually, I ordered and paid, and went to sit at one of the bar stools facing a window that overlooked the street. It was a nice little spot to people-watch. After several minutes, my wine flight was wordlessly set in front of me, and that completed my interaction with the people who work at The Cellar Wine Bistro. I sipped my wines, which were dry reds, and I looked out the window, and wondered if there was a different wine bar I could visit the next time I was in the area.

We came in on what looked like a family party. The table next to us ate Arby's no wine just soda…read more We were able to choose and receive a bottle of Cabernet (3 of us) which was ok. I did almost immediately start to get a headache which led me to the conclusion that the wine was not the best quality. I later found out that the same bottle can be purchased at Target for 20$ we paid 50$ Ok. But the atmosphere was off, the wine ok, and the cheese, crackers, and pickle charcuterie were a disaster! (2 vlasic dill spears and six crackers with six very odd slices of cheddar) I wanted to like this place, the other reviews were promising but for now we will be sticking to the other wine bar on Main Street.

The dog-friendly patio is a fantastic place to relax, with servers who will bring treats for your furry friends. The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming, McKenzie was a wonderful server and she will make you feel like part of the family. Not to mention a great selection of wines, this place is perfect for a fun and relaxing time with loved ones, including the four-legged ones!

The drinks were excellent--well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with skill. There was also a live musician performing during my visit who was amazing and added a great atmosphere and really elevated the overall vibe. Service, however, was a mixed experience. One of the bartenders (a newer female bartender) was very friendly, attentive, and showed a lot of potential--she made a great impression despite seeming a bit new. Unfortunately, the other bartender completely brought the experience down. He came across as rude, disengaged, and honestly like he didn't want to be there at all. I understand it was a busy night, but there was very little sense of urgency from him, and wait times felt longer than they should have been--even factoring in the crowd. That said, I do understand everyone can have an off night, and given how good the drinks and atmosphere were (plus the positive reviews I've seen elsewhere), I'd likely be willing to give it another shot. Overall, great cocktails and ambiance, but inconsistent service keeps it from being a top-tier experience--for now. I will be happy to update following a repeat visit.
